I realize there are people that try and stroke thier ego by possibly abusing the spirit of what the H20 is. But also I think some of the regulars you see in the H20 aren't always actually pimping for votes as much as they are added to many peoples favorite artist list. When they upload a new image people click the notice they recieve, and go straight to the picture. They like it then they vote. They haven't actually looked at some of the other images that have been uploaded by the other artists. Also I've noticed there are a phenomenal number of artists uploading in overwhelming numbers at any given time of the day. So it's not that inconcievable that some really great artists slip through the cracks without ever being seen. That holds true especially for new artists, that haven't built up a fan base. That's one reason you see some artists who have the same names commenting on thier work every-time. That's not to say these people are friends with each other, they're just people that really like what that artist does, and comment when they recieve notice of a new upload. I guess my point is I'm having difficulty seeing the problems here as so cut and dry as what some would have us all believe.
